15 Juice Recipes for What Ails You

Juicing is getting plenty of attention lately as a way to get healthy, feel good and maybe even lose a little weight. Whether you want a caffeine-less jolt, extra nutrients for your bones or a little mood boost, your solution may be in a glass. We have some recipes to throw in your new juicer.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

Buy local and organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible so you’re getting the freshest and most nutritious produce available to you and your family and remember to always rinse everything you juice before juicing.

You will get the best juice from firm, ripe fruits and vegetables. If it is over ripe or too soft you will extract more pulp than juice.

Avoid juicing bananas and avocados, they are soft and will clog your juicer screen.

When juicing melons, don’t remove the interior white rind or peel because much of the nutritional value is in this section of the fruit.

With citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit and tangerines) remove the rind, but keep as much of the white pith as possible because it’s full of nutrients. You can juice lemons and limes whole without peeling.
